Happy Thanksgiving from Loudon Wainwright III and me!
This description of this song is the best: “A beautiful and eerie song by Loudon Wainwright III about a dysfunctional family gathering at Thanksgiving.”
Simply said, it’s a painfully beautiful song.
I hope everyone has a great day, not at all reminiscent of these lyrics….
